Wondering how long it can take to install hardwood floors for your Calgary home? While a lot depends on the coverage area, there are several other factors that may impact the timelines of your project. One of the single most critical aspects that influences the time to install wooden floors is whether you go for finished or unfinished hardwood.
As one of the best hardwood floor installers in Calgary, the experts at Bull Tough Flooring offer some insights into the installation process and time.
As a rule of thumb, prefinished hardwood floor may take longer to arrive but requires very little time to install, whereas unfinished hardwood will arrive quickly, but involves a time-consuming installation process. Here’s a quick look at the processes for both options.
For Prefinished Hardwood: For around 1,000-square foot coverage, the average installation time once the wood arrives on site is between 1 to 5 days. This excludes the time needed for floor removal and floor prep, if any.
For Unfinished Hardwood: For a 1,000-square foot area, the average installation time once the wood arrives on site is between 4 to 10 days. This includes one full day for drying, and excludes additional time for old floor rip up or floor prep, if any. Any other unexpected factors, such as sub-floor damage or humidity could impact the timelines.
Keep in mind that if you are undertaking multiple renovation projects at the same time, then the order of the projects is critical in order to avoid delays or extra costs.
